    Animal. It's a walk in the park compared to Wishlist.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    you can make any pj song sound good on an acoustic if you do it right.

    That acoustic version of Evenflow over on your site is a testament to that...

    Hey, Rick, do you have a song on the Release Me page?

    I say Small Town (duh) for the acoustic, althouhg with enough practice (or basardization of the chords - like our buddy Aaron :)), anyone can play Stone's part on Black. And there's always Betterman. Then again playiny any PJ acoustic is fun, like Alive, Jeremy and Hail Hail..............and even Yellow Led, if you want to put in the practice....really not too too hard, once you get the hang of it. Remember, songs are only as hard as you want them to be.

    Not to me it isn't, I just can't nail that rythm on the riff
  • mccreadyisgodmccreadyisgod Posts: 6,395
    I was joking...

    Any votes on the hardest PJ song to play? Except the solos?

    the intro to all or none is pretty killer. I have never tried it but lookin at the tabs seems it would take some tricky finger work.

    I find hail hail pretty tough when not using the pwer chords.

    It wasn't tough for me at all... took me like 30 seconds to get down pat.... it's all bark and no bite, really... that little hammer-on part at the end of the intro sounds hard but it's really one of the easiest things ever...



    I'm a bassist, and the only bass riff that I might struggle with a little would be Save You... if you're not paying attention it can getcha...


    Some of my favorite PJ songs to play bass to are definitely Dirty Frank, Rats, WMA and YL... I can see why they play YL so much... it's so fun to play, even on bass...

    i've gone through some stuff but haven't been pleased with anything. also, i'm trying to do some collaborations with other people (e.g. drums bass etc) so that holds up any potential recording process. i think it's safe to say that i've recorded most of Binaural and deleted it by now :)

    Immortality is my goto PJ song. It is a very simple progression, and it's one of those songs that you can play forever.
